BIKE NEW YORK ( Five Boro Bike Tour )

One of the largest fun-ride events on the planet, with nearly 40,000 riders participating in Manhattan, New York. Starting in Manhattan, the tour will travel from Sixth Avenue through Central Park to the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, and then to Statin Island, the festival site. This is why they call it the "FIVE BORO BIKE TOUR." The 40-mile (64 km) course, with few ups and downs and plenty of aid stations, is a great way to enjoy New York City to the fullest. This is a very satisfying event that allows you to ride through New York City in May in a fresh, city-like atmosphere.
